When life gives you lemons, be difficult and make grape juice!

Not necessarily the odd one out, but never really fitting "in". This is my life and everything in it. All the love, laughter and happiness; and sometimes the sadness too. This is my journey as a fruitloop in this world full of cheerios, trying to make my mark and live every day to the fullest! (if you have to ask, I am an orange fruitloop)

Get Yur Hair Did...

Since I have lost my job it has been impossible for me to get to the salon and get my hair done. My hair is so thick and gets so long that it gives me headaches when I put it up, it totally sucks!

Well last night my amazing boyfriend said he would pay for me to get my hair done and I could pay him back with my next few unemployment checks! I was so, so, so excited, I got into the salon today and feel like a new woman! It's amazing what a new hairdo does for your confidence :D

If you are ever looking for a new stylist Lisa Ponce at Faces and Alamode Salon is the best! See my review here: Faces & Alamode Salon, Yelp.com Review

Our Second Anniversary

Over the weekend, David and I turned 2! Our Anniversary was on Saturday, but Davids family was in town, so we decided to hang out with them and celebrate on Sunday. It was nice to spend time with each other on both Friday and Saturday night, just hanging out and relaxing. Sunday was a long day, but totally worth it! We split the day into 2 parts, David wanted the first half of the day and I got the second (mine started around 4pm). We woke up around 9am and layed in bed for an hour talking and enjoying each others company. While I got ready, David ran to the store to get supplies for his day. At 10:45 it was time to leave.

We started the day off with brunch at The Clubhouse at This Old House, enjoying large mimosas and a pretty good breakfast burrito.

After brunch we headed home and it was time for a walk, we ended up walking to the park down the street. David brought a few sodas and some blankets so we could just lay and relax, enjoying each others company and the beautiful day. We rested for about an hour, then it was time to head home.



He told me I had to grab something I could get wet in (I don't own a swimsuit), so i grabbed some shorts and a tank top and we were off again. He drove us to Sycamore Mineral Springs where we got a hot tub! I was super excited, because if you know David, you know he HATES water! This was so sweet of him!

Once we got to the hot tub he pulled all kinds of stuff out of his bag! He had prepared a cute little snack for us; Strawberries, PB&J, Cheeze Its, Animal Cookies and topped it all off with Arbor Mist in some red cups! We sat in the hot tub and talked and ate our snacks until it was time to go home.

We got home around 3:30 so we layed around for a half hour until it was my turn to take over. At 4pm it was time to leave.

First we headed to the dollar store, I gave David $10 and tasked him with finding 5 things that reminded him of me, it could be literal, metaphorical etc. I did the same and we did our best to avoid each other in the store. Once we were done with that, we headed to Micheals.

At Michaels we bought supplies to create t-shirts for each other, we had bought plain white shirts on Saturday, so we knew what we were decorating. After picking up all the supplies, we headed to vons.

At Vons we purchased stuff to make our own home made pizza and then ice cream sundays for dessert. I got chicken, bacon bits, creamy parmesan basil sauce. David got pepperoni, mozzarella and marinara sauce. We had some cheddar and pepperjack cheese at home. I picked up some pillsbary croissant rounds and then we grabbed some hot fudge, butterscotch, whipped cream and peanuts for our sundays and lastly a pint of Oreo cookies and cream ice cream!

Once we got home from our shopping trip, it was time to make our shirts. We both worked diligently on each others shirts until they were complete.

After creating the shirts,it was time to make dinner. David made a pepperoni pizza with marinara sauce and mozzarella and pepperjack cheese. I made a chicken and bacon pizza with creamy parmesan basil sauce and cheddar and mozzarella cheese. After sticking our food in the oven, I sent David to the office so I could get the living room ready to create an indoor candlelight picnic. When the food was ready I set up our table and poured us some Chamisal Rose (thanks Jon!).

After dinner we went through the dollar store stuff! We each took turns showing an item and explaining why we got it. This was a lot of fun, it was silly but sweet, I really enjoyed it!

Word Puzzles - because when we first got together we would create words of the day and use them often.
Kitty Puppet - because we both want a kitty
Flower - because every girl likes flowers!
Runts -  because i was a preme baby (and I like candy)
Silly putty - because I am silly and we both like to play with toys!

Socks - because he keeps me warm and cozy
Googly Eyes - because I love him so much, he gives me googly eyes
Vanilla Candles - because it reminded me of a time he made me a bubble bath with vanilla candles after I had a long week at work
Goobers - because he is a Goober
Glow sticks - because he lights up my life


We finished the night off watching TrueBlood and eating ice cream sundaes! All in all, it was a fantastic day and I am looking forward to more wonderful years with my man!
